I’m the kind of shopper that when I see something I like, I will usually debate it by walking around the store for a while, ensuring I don’t find anything I like more before rushing to the cash. Also, while I love to shop and do shop often, I frequently leave empty handed. That said, sometimes there are items that you see and it’s like an instant click; you know it’s coming home with you.

That can be said for these boots I recently picked up at Marshalls. I was sub-conciously looking for a pair of tall, black, leather boots with a chunky heel that would be work-appropriate, but also comfortable enough to wear on weekends. When I spotted these, I tried them on immediately and did a little happy dance when they fit knowing there was no question, they were coming home with me.

I have since worn them multiple times, including to work, out shopping and running errands and have to say, despite being a pretty simple looking boot, they get tons of compliments. I couldn’t find a link online, but if you’re in Ottawa, run to Marshalls at Trainyards and scoop yourself a pair.
